Aircraft Management Technologies (AMT) and friendly low-fares airline Jet2.com announce the selection of the Flightman Electronic Flight Bag Software to power the Jet2.com fleet. Jet2.com will install the Flightman software across their fleet of Boeing 737 and Boeing 757 aircraft.

The Flightman platform enables the onboard applications to connect to the existing Jet2.com ground-based infrastructure using secure 3G and wireless communications technologies, thus enabling more efficient processes and achieving valuable cost savings. Included in the core set of modules selected by Jet2.com are e-Journey Log, Electronic Flight Folder, Weight and Balance, Performance Calculations, Fuel Performance Analysis, e-Techlog, Large Content Management and Passenger Relationship Management. This solution allows integration of critical processes on the flight deck and reduces operational crew workload by ensuring single point data capture.

Jet2.com has chosen to deploy the solution on Class 1 EFB hardware and view the ability to seamlessly integrate operational data from the aircraft to Jet2.com’s back office systems as a key enabler of operational efficiencies and cost savings.

Commenting on the selection of AMT as software providers, Captain Robin Evans, Flight Director of Operations at Jet2.com said: “We carried out extensive analysis on the selection of a software vendor and found that AMT could help us achieve significant savings across our operations, which is key for us as a low cost airline. AMT was selected as the Flightman product best satisfies the requirements of our various business drivers.”
